Lots of ideas...Need a new computer...Need ideas from my friends and colleagues...

What are your ideas??? (1)

What exactly is short staffing? Is it the new MTO (Oh and suck it up-like it or not)/not necessarily when needed) staffing?

A) Like when JCAHO or OSHA or AHCA visit? (Like does safe staffing really matter any other time)

B) Like when the budget says so? (But hey lets not look for ways to actually encourage money-making ideas for the workplace) Just cut the staff short instead.

C) NURSING SATISFACTION STAFFING???? OH my those are the wrong words to use, because nurse satisfaction is so often the first consideration.... (I can dream)

D) Study after study shows that safe staffing improves not only nursing satisfaction, longevity, security, etc., but actually promotes patient and family satisfaction, promotes better patient outcomes, patient safety and less sentinel events, and reduces medication errors. OH so many ANDS for nurses and patients...and SO many buts fro those that really should care but too often

consider the bottom line and NOT the bottoms of their nurses and patients....

Again, I really do not place patients after nurses, I just really consider the Patients and families have the WHOLE freakin alphabet advocating for them...Nurses do not even have the ABC's (another day for my BLOG on the one organization that really does care, just a quick hint...FNA)
